2024 was a wake-up call for tech professionals. Some thrived. Some barely survived. And some realized their jobs might not exist in 5 years. As we close out the year, the real question isn’t just about what happened in 2024—it’s about what’s coming in 2025. 🚨 Will AI take over more roles? 🚨 Will remote work stay dominant, or are companies swinging back to office-first? 🚨 How can YOU stay ahead in a field that’s evolving faster than ever? I’ve unpacked the highs, lows, and big lessons from this year while exploring what’s next for tech careers. If you’re ready to future-proof your career, this article’s for you. #TechCareers #2025Trends #FutureOfWork #CareerGrowth

🌟 Seizing Opportunities for Growth After wrapping up my studies in Moscow, Russia, I found myself with a bit of spare time during my final months there. I kept wondering —how could I make the most of these days in a way that would truly benefit my career growth? Luckily, I came across an upskilling opportunity shared by Sharifah Hani Yasmin (huge thanks for always sharing great opportunities!). Without wasting any time, I decided to take the leap and join the KYouth Development Program (KYDP) Cohort 3 by TalentLabs to build a solid foundation in Data Analytics. The program kicked off with a 1-month online learning phase, which I completed from Moscow in August. This phase gave me the fundamentals I needed and prepped me for the next step: a 3-month On-the-Job Training (OJT), where I was fortunate to be accepted at Lenovo (I’ll share more on my next post). Looking back, joining KYDP was a game-changing decision. It helped me bridge the gap between academic theory and industry realities—something I believe is essential for fresh graduates like me stepping into the professional world. Initially, my goal was simple: to challenge myself, getting know new people from different backgrounds, embrace new opportunities, and equip myself with the skills to thrive in the tech industry. Now, I can proudly say: “Challenge accepted—and successfully conquered ✨✊🏻👏🏻” #KYDP #Upskilling #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerJourney #FromMoscowToMalaysia

Gen Z is rewriting the rules of work—flexibility, purpose, and growth are non-negotiables. But here’s the real question: is this evolution what workplaces need, or are we losing something in the shift? For employers, adapting to this new norm means rethinking everything from schedules to values. For others, it sparks a debate: does prioritizing balance and purpose hurt productivity? Or is this the future we’ve been waiting for? What do you think? #GenZAtWork #FutureOfWork #WorkplaceCulture #CareerAdvice
